The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 23:50-56

The burial of Jesus: v. 50. And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a just. v. 51. (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them.) He was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. v. 52. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. v. 53. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. v. 54. ... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 23:47-56

Faith from, Unexpected Quarters Luke 23:47-56 God has His agents everywhere. They are not known to us, but are well known to Him, and one word from Him will bring them and their resources to His help. How many are unsuspected lovers of His Kingdom! Who would have thought that Joseph was waiting for the kingdom of God, or that he would have identified its advent with the death on the cross! The body of our Lord was well cared for. They who commit themselves to God will find that He will make... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:1-56

This is the story of the Cross, and, as in dealing with other Gospels, it is best read in reverent quietness and meditation. We see all the forces of evil as represented in the Jewish priests and in Pilate joining hands to secure the murder of Jesus. Dr. Maclaren has remarked that there is something impressive in the unbroken continuity of the clauses in this paragraph which follow one another, linked by a simple 'and,' like the waves of the Dead Sea which roll heavily in dreary succession. It... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:1-56

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:54-56

A Day Of Waiting (23:54-56). The approaching Sabbath, commencing at sunset on the day of the crucifixion, necessarily prevented any further activity, so that the women followers of Jesus, who had watched and had seen where His body was laid, had to wait for the Sabbath to be over. Meanwhile they began to prepare spices and ointments so that they too could pay their last respects to their beloved Master. It was as though the whole of creation was waiting for what would happen next. This... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:55-56

‘And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid, and they returned, and prepared spices and ointments.’ Instead they used the last moments before the Sabbath in order to observe what happened to His body, watching as His corpse was carried into the tomb. Then in order to prepare spices and ointments with which they would show their love for their dead Master, they returned to where they were staying. The idea of the spices and... read more

Luke 23:50-Titus : . The Burial of Jesus ( Mark 15:42-2 Corinthians : *, Matthew 27:57-2 Peter : *).— Lk. tells us that Joseph had dissented from the action of his colleagues in the Sanhedrin.

Codex Bezæ adds, “ And when he was lain there, he put against the tomb a stone which twenty men could scarcely roll.” Luke 23:54 . the Sabbath drew on: lit. “ began to dawn.” Montefiore says the word is used of the kindling of the Sabbath... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 23:55-56

See Poole on "Matthew 27:61". It is Beza’s observation upon these verses, that Christ, being opposed by the devil and all his instruments, being now dead, leaveth two or three poor women, as it were, in the front of the battle, intending within a very short time, without much ado, to triumph over all these terrible adversaries. read more
